Number Of Ingredients 10

3/4 cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar
2 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2-1/3 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup baking cocoa
3 teaspoons baking powder

Divide dough in half. Shape each into a disk; wrap in plastic. Refrigerate 2 hours or until firm enough to roll., Preheat oven to 350°. On a lightly floured surface, roll each portion of dough to 1/8-in. thickness. Cut with a floured 2-1/2-in. round cookie cutter. Using a floured 1-in. round cookie cutter, cut out the centers of half of the cookies. Place solid and window cookies 1 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets., Bake 6-8 minutes or until set. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool completely., Spread 1/2 teaspoon melted chocolate on bottoms of solid cookies; refrigerate until firm. Spread 1/2 teaspoon jam on top of chocolate; top with window cookies. Drizzle with remaining chocolate; let stand until set. Freeze option: Transfer wrapped disks to a resealable plastic freezer bag; freeze. To use, thaw dough in refrigerator until soft enough to roll. Proceed as directed.

The cookies were a little dry, but they were still tasty. I think I'll try adding some more butter next time.
